Still speaking from revelatory knowledge, Jacob testifies that those carried off from Jerusalem will return. He does not mention the Gentiles’ role in this return, even though Isaiah does. I suggest that there are two reasons for this omission. First, Isaiah is referring to an event still in the Jacob’s future (unlike Jerusalem’s destruction), and second, Jacob may be saving a discussion about the Gentiles for a later point. Having that discussion at this point might, he feels, confuses his listeners who understand that Jerusalem’s destruction was future for Isaiah but is past for them. He is speaking to his current and present audience, not those who will be alive when the Gentiles play their future role. Jacob’s prophetic discourse quickly sketches the return of the Jews to Jerusalem—an obvious prerequisite for the Messiah’s mission among them, which is the next event he lists.
